Fine-scale genetic pattern and evidence for sex-biased dispersal in the túngara frog, Physalaemus pustulosus.
Túngara frogs (Physalaemus pustulosus) are a model system for sexual selection and communication. Population dynamics and gene flow are of major interest in this species because they influence speciation processes and microevolution, and could consequently provide a deeper understanding of the evolutionary processes involved in mate recognition. Although earlier studies have documented genetic ...
متن کاملSmall-scale spatial genetic structure in an ant species with sex-biased dispersal
In a population of the monogynous, polyandrous ant Cataglyphis cursor, we analysed the spatial genetic structure of queens, colony fathers and workers at a microgeographical scale to infer the extent of sex-biased dispersal and to assess the impact of limited dispersal on the patterns of relatedness within the colony. To this end, four microsatellite markers were scored for the queen and an ave...
متن کاملDispersal in Mastomys natalensis mice: use of fine-scale genetic analyses for pest management.
Mastomys natalensis is the major pest rodent in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, population genetic techniques were used to gain new insights into its dispersal behaviour, a critical parameter in pest management. Using 11 microsatellites, 272 individuals from a 300 ha area in Tanzania were genotyped. Genetic diversity was high, with no isolation by distance and little differentiation between ...
متن کاملFine-scale spatial genetic structure and dispersal among spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) breeding populations.
We examined fine-scale genetic variation among breeding aggregations of the spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) to quantify dispersal, interpopulation connectivity and population genetic structure. Spotted salamanders rely on temporary ponds or wetlands for aggregate breeding. Adequate breeding sites are relatively isolated from one another and field studies suggest considerable adult site...
متن کاملRestricted dispersal determines fine-scale spatial genetic structure of Mongolian gerbils
Restricted gene flow may cause positive spatial genetic autocorrelation of animal populations at fine spatial scales. The Mongolian gerbil Meriones unguiculatus is a territorial, social rodent. Territoriality may create social fences to restrict dispersal or gene flow of Mongolian gerbils to a short distance. Restricted dispersal may differentiate fine-scale spatial genetic structure of populat...
